     وَٱحْتَلَّ بِسَاحِلٍ مِنْ سَوَاحِلِ ثُغُورِنَا مَرَاكِبُ لِقَوْمٍ مِنَ ٱلْمَجُوسِ، يُقَالُ لَهُمُ الْأُرْدَمَانِيُّونَ. أَقْبَلُوا مِنْ بَلَدِهِمْ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِفْرَنْجَةٍ، وَخَرَجُوا عَلَى سَاحِلِهِمْ، فَقَتَلُوا رِجَالَهُمْ، وَأَصَابُوا ذَرَارِيهِمْ، وَغَنَمُوا أَمْوَالَهُمْ، وَأَقَامُوا بِبَلَدِهِمْ يَعِيثُونَ فِيهِمْ، وَيَقْتُلُونَ مَنْ ظَفَرُوا بِهِ مِنْهُمْ.

     waḥtalla bisāḥilin min sawāḥili ṯuḡūrinā marākibu liqawmin mina l-majūsi, yuqālu lahumu al-ʔurdamāniyyūna. ʔaqbalū min baladihim fī l-baḥri ʔilā ʔarḍi ʔifranjatin, waḵarajū ʕalā sāḥilihim, faqatalū rijālahum, waʔaṣābū ḏarārīhim, waḡanamū ʔamwālahum, waʔaqāmū bibaladihim yaʕīṯūna fīhim, wayaqtulūna man ẓafarū bihi minhum.

     And then, somewhere along our shores, the longships of a nation of Mazdeans came in, who are called the ʾUrdamāniyyūn. They had journeyed forth from their homeland by sea to the land of the Franks, and then they filed out on their shoreline, slew their men, seized their children, and looted their wealth, and thereafter they lingered around in their country marauding in it and slaying whomever they could catch from among them.

     يقولون إنَّ الأُرْدَمَانِينَ أقبَلُوا / فقلتُ إذا شاؤُوا رضِيتُ لهم نصرَا
     لقد أيقنَ الإسلامُ أنَّ سيوفَه / ستحمي حماهُ بل ستصطلمُ الكفَرَا

     “The Northmen have arrived!” they shout and cry!
     “Ah, well,” said I, “So let them taste a victory,
     Islam just knows his strongholds are secure,
     His swords, to faithless men, excisory.”
